I gently patted Xixi on the back: "It's okay, Xixi. It's not my fault. I just couldn't control my emotions and made you worry."
I took a deep breath: "Uncle, since you haven't left, you must have a way to help me, right?"
After a brief period of unconsciousness, my mind cleared up considerably.
Since the uncle was able to appear at such a suitable time and find me so precisely, it proves that he must know something.
I don't believe that charlatans could be so coincidental.
The uncle looked at me quietly and slowly said, "You're a smart girl, so I'm sure you guessed it too."
"If I could stop you, I must have something to help you; otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess."
"Once the death curse is broken, the person who cast the curse will also suffer varying degrees of backlash."
"It might not mean much to the person who cast the curse."
"However, this will affect his reputation in his circle."
"After all, it doesn't sound good to talk about someone being cursed and then suffering the backlash."
"Won't they definitely retaliate later?"
As I listened to the uncle's words, I became increasingly worried.
People like that must be utterly wicked villains.
If I cause trouble for the older man, I'll feel guilty.
However, if I don't do this, I won't be able to save my parents.
I don't want to see my parents become like the ones in my dreams.
His eyes were lifeless, and he exuded an eerie aura. He jumped off the building without saying a word. I don't want it to become a reality.
But......
The middle-aged man chuckled and said, "Hehe, don't overthink it. People who only know how to use petty tricks might be troublesome to others, but they are no threat to me."
"But what if he sets his sights on you in the future? What will you do then?"
I opened my mouth, but didn't know what to say.
I have never experienced anything like this before. In fact, I thought that something like being targeted for my life would never happen to me in my entire life.
The middle-aged man slowly squatted down and looked directly at me: "You have three choices."
"The first option is to pretend you've never met me, continue your previous life, be plagued by nightmares every day, and leave everything else to fate."
"The second option is to give you a calming amulet. You will no longer dream about what happened that day. Wait for the Death Curse to take effect, and the things in your dreams will become reality."
"At that time, you will no longer have nightmares, but I think that will be even more terrifying than having nightmares."
I shook my head vigorously: "No... I don't want to!"
"You said there are three types, so what's the third one? Tell me quickly what the third one is!"
At this moment, my mind was already in turmoil.
The middle-aged man raised his hand and made a three-point gesture:
"The third way is to learn to draw talismans with me. Once you can draw the talisman to break the curse, drip your blood onto the talisman and burn it. Then drink the water from the talisman, and the death curse will be broken naturally."
"But it requires a lot of your time and focus."
"You only have one month. Whether you can learn it or not depends on your comprehension."
I fell into deep thought: is this the only path I can choose?
You can choose not to believe everything he says, but does that mean you have to leave the outcome to fate?
After much struggle, I finally made up my mind: "I don't seem to have any other choice, so I'll choose the third one."
Xixi, who was listening from the side, was completely confused and shook me in surprise: "What death curse? What curse caster? Xiaoxi, you don't really want to believe his one-sided story, do you!"
"Regardless of whether what he said is true or not, just considering drawing talismans and such, that's not something you can learn so easily. To learn it in a month is a complete fantasy!"
I listened to Xixi's words and also considered this issue.
Yes, it's definitely not that easy to learn. I don't think I have any extraordinary talent.
But how should I choose...?
The older man seemed to sense my worry:
"This little girl is right. Drawing talismans is not that simple. Ordinary people may need ten or even several decades to learn it from elementary school."
"Although the antidote is not a high-level talisman, it is not something that can be drawn easily."
"In Taoist arts, talismans are the foundation for beginners, but also the most advanced form of magic."
"After choosing to learn talismans from me, you will face two more problems."
"The first outcome is that even if you can't draw the talisman, the things in your dream will still become reality."
"The second outcome is that you successfully break the Death Curse, but you will most likely face retaliation from the one who cast the curse."
"I think... none of these are things you can handle."
At that moment, I felt that this uncle was really amazing.
He can easily point out the pros and cons of various outcomes.
Then, he spoke again:
"Actually, you have another option: after you successfully break the curse of death, become my disciple and learn Taoist arts from me."
"A curse caster of that level is not worth worrying about."
“If you catch him and detain him at the Taoist Association headquarters, you’ll be fine.”
"At that time, you can live a normal life and become a college student again."
"Of course, you can also stay by my side and be my disciple; it's all up to you."
Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but begin to doubt the man.
I do not doubt the authenticity of the death curse he mentioned.
